Presumably the OP realised that the Roman numeral equivalent would go down
like a lead balloon with typical news server spam filters.

ObPuzzleMetalworkWoodwork: devise a machine in wood and metal that, given
N, can calculate the proportion of numbers in the range 1 to N whose Roman
numeral representations would tickle a typical news server's filters. Make
sure your solution is well-oiled, sanded down, and easily representable in
ASCII art.

Correct


> 1294 Rangefinder????


It isn't a rangefinder, the device is used for recreation and doesn't really
have a useful purpose, although I guess you could do some types of
experiments with it.
